Pick 'em Week 7 recap

This past Friday night was not a good one for picking games. I deliberately picked Bunker Hill to knock off a Bandys squad that was playing without its quarterback and top receiver. I thought it might be a the perfect time for the Bears to take advantage, especially since they were at home. The Trojans won the game anyway. But at least I can take some comfort in the that fact that they won it the way I said they would: unleashing tailback Josh McCombs.

As for the St. Stephens-West Caldwell game, I honestly don't know why I picked West Caldwell. That was a case of me being in a hurry and typing the wrong team. I never thought West would beat Saint but somehow I typed it anyway and so that's my tough luck.

And then there was my usual blunder with South Caldwell. I thought Butch and the boys from Sawmills were ready to mug Cryin' Mike Biggerstaff's Cavs but turns out "them Icard boys" are desperate to enjoy this, the program's final season of football glory before sinking into the abyss that is waiting to engulf them once Draughn's varsity program gets cranked up next season. Tick tock, Cavaliers...
